Just finished a DC draft tonight. It was tougher than what I imagined. Anyone tell me what I did right or wrong and if I'll smell some money come the end of the season? Thanks.

Solid, should be a top five team Cutter. I would've backed up Gates with a better TE but that's a small complaint in a tough draft.

I hope it's a top 3 team KJ Duke! If you could tell me where to fit in a significantly better TE than Miller, I would like to know to improve for next time.

Forgot to mention; WRs FLEW off the board tonight.

Wiiliam, I agree, another very competitive draft. But, quite honestly, I haven't been in one in the NFFC that wasn't. When you get Champ Rob, Jules, KJ, et al. its going to be tough. Believe you held your own. As with most of the rosters it will come up a little short somewhere. Rb depth a little suspect, Not any "outstanding" WR's but a good group if Galloway connects with Garcia and VJ plays like a true #1. Don't like having 2 of my top 4 from the same team. (Would make an exception for Marv and Reggie!!) Nice group of QB's but this is where you traded off for a 3rd lower tier starting RB. Which probably would be my preference. Agree with KJ, would have tried for another starting TE somewhere between rounds 14-20. But again, a nice draft and enjoyed drafting with you. My roster looks like this and feel free to "tear it apart"

QB: E Manning, Delhomme, J McCown

RB: C Benson, J Lewis, C Brown, L White, C Houston, M Moore, C Sapp

WR: C Johnson, S Smith, D Branch, T Glenn, B Jones, M Stovall, L Robinson

TE: E Johnson, M Pollard, V Shiancoe, D Lee

K : Elam, Dawson

D : Car., 49ers, Tenn.

Another very tough draft.

QB: B Favre, M Schaub, T Green

RB: S Alexander, W McGahee, V Morency, B Jackson, A Bradshaw, G Jones

WR: A Johnson, L Coles, D Jackson, D Carter, D Jarrett, N Washington, C Davis, B Smith

TE: T Gonzalez, B Troupe, D Campbell

K: Kaeding, L Tynes, K Brown

D: Steelers, Chiefs, Browns

Thanks for the suggestions Duke and Riff.

QB: E Manning, Delhomme - Two average qb's. An injury away from major point loss.

RB: C Benson, J Lewis, C Brown, L White - Should have 3 starting RB on opening day. Good job. You also got them with good value.

WR: C Johnson, S Smith, D Branch, T Glenn - Now that's some WR's!

TE: E Johnson, M Pollard, V Shiancoe, D Lee - Quantity over quality. Could work I guess, but you used 4 roster spots for one position?

BigMO:
QB: B Favre, M Schaub, T Green - Like the 3 QB's, although none of them will be spectacular this year, but you don't need the manning or palmer's in the format IMO.

RB: S Alexander, W McGahee, V Morency, B Jackson - Alexander could be a steal! mcgahee is solid, but you didn't get their backups? Between morency and jackson, you should have the GB RB (unless dillon signs).

WR: A Johnson, L Coles, D Jackson, D Carter, D Jarrett, N Washington, C Davis, B Smith - Good top 3.

TE: T Gonzalez, B Troupe, D Campbell - I like them.

K: Kaeding, L Tynes, K Brown

D: Steelers, Chiefs, Browns

K/D - Why 3 of each?

D: Steelers, Chiefs, Browns Nice job; this team will make a run for a money spot.

K/D - Why 3 of each? In my opinion, having 3 of each just gives more opportunity for a higher score at each of these positions. You never know when a defense or kicker is going to put up huge numbers and with three you get to throw out the two lowest scores. There is obviously some trade off as I could have two more receivers, but it is worth it in my opinion. That is until D.Jax gets hurt and then I will regret the decision.
